The engine

VR30DDTT

3.0L Twin-Turbo V6

Infiniti's most advanced V6, blending eager low-end shove with a refined, free-revving top end and a creamy, modern delivery. In Red Sport 400 guise it feels notably stronger than rivals' on-paper figures.

Part of Nissan's exclusive VR powertrain family and built at the Iwaki plant in Japan, it springs from a six-cylinder heritage that earned 14 consecutive Ward's 10 Best Engines awards from 1995 to 2008.

The same basic engine serves both 300-hp and 400-hp duty depending on tuning and turbo hardware.
Optical sensors track turbine speeds near 220,000 rpm for precise boost management.
Direct injection paired with an integrated water-to-air intercooler lets peak torque arrive at just 1,600 rpm.
